The Company RBR Illusionists of Dance, for years engaged in artistic projects aimed at raising awareness for respect for the environment, with this new creation inspired by Canova, will stage an original interpretation of the works of the greatest exponent of Neoclassicism in sculpture.
The viewer will be able to witness a real translation: the works of art of the Master of Possagno will take shape in the contemporary world. Canova will be the “guide” of this scenic journey, he will be the light that will indicate the passage, he will be the voice of prophecies in a visionary dancing experience.
The wall of convention must be pulled down, it is necessary to know how to look beyond: even sculptures, the masters of the past, Art itself can teach how to take care of our world and only a theater steeped in evocative illusions can be the starting point for this “Canovian” experience.
Furthermore, 2022 marks the two hundredth anniversary of Canova’s death and RBR Illusionisti della Danza wants to remember him by revealing the works and intuitions of this great artist.
